orbit Pro AX6000 Router + WAX610 AP , How to setup a same SSID just use the web ?

Question

It is a office with 4 rooms, each room have wired port. And we have one Orbit Pro AX6000 Router and 3 WAX610 AP.

We do not use Netgear Insight Cloud and Insight APP.

Can I just use web browser to setup the router + 3AP to the same SSID in each room ?

You need to configure each AP manually with the same SSID settings. That's one of reasons we developed Insight to make setup easier.&nbsp;

&nbsp; I can&nbsp; configure 3 WAX610 AP manually with the same SSID settings as the AX6000 Router .&nbsp; &nbsp;But there is no AC device in the LAN,&nbsp; Is it&nbsp; can support&nbsp; Phone/Pad/Notebook roaming in deferent rooms&nbsp; and automatic switching the AP ?

BruceGuo · Answer

I don't know why you need an AC device in the LAN. Generally wireless clients can roam and switch among APs with the same SSID and passphase.

Hey&nbsp;BruceGuo, glad you're back!&nbsp;Does Insight allow to configure the 802.11r Mobility Domain ID (not accessible&nbsp;to the user in the local Web UIs for whatever reason - probably protectionism or prohibition!) over the Orbi Pro WiFi 6, the WAC5xx and WAX6xx, (and for my own curiosity also the Orbi Pro) - just as it does on bunches of WAC5xx and WAX6xx installations?&nbsp;TonyTest&nbsp;The ability to seamless roaming is not a question of 802.11ac or 802.11ax (WiFi 6). However, it's correct that elderly devices (no OS support, no driver support)&nbsp;might not have the ability to handle 802.11r, 802.11k, and 802.11v properly, and might remain as sticky clients on a "bad" AP for a longer time.Regards,-Kurt
